Storm Byron has struck Gaza with force, deepening the suffering of already displaced families, the World Health Organization’s representative in the occupied Palestinian territories reported during a UN press conference in New York on Friday. According Dr Rik Peeperkorn, the cold, rainy winter has set in in Gaza, leaving people even more vulnerable to disease amid compromised water and sanitation systems. Winter conditions, combined with poor water and sanitation, are expected to drive a surge in acute respiratory infections, including influenza as well as hepatitis and diarrheal diseases, he concluded.
